I heard an engineer talking about running tracks through a 1:1 transformer to add color to the sound. I think he said it was a Sowter that he took out of a broken Allen & Heath desk. After I did a search on google it seems that there might be a way of building a box with ins and outs...

I want to buy a pair of SDCs and I've narrowed it down to the ones in the poll. All things (specs, sound, etc.) considered, which pair will give me the most bang for my buck, but also keep on being usefull for quite a while?

I'm very interested in getting a set of Naiant X-Q's. At the moment I'm using a pair of Samson C02's, which are giving me results that I'm pretty happy with. Can anyone tell me how the X-Q's compare with the C02's soundwise? How noisy are the X-Q's? I see they're rated at 20dBA while the...

I have a Samson C01 and a pair of Samson C02's. I must say I quite like the C02's, especially on acoustic guitars and drum overheads. The C01 doesn't blow me away, but it has been useful on one or two things where I've needed an extra condenser. It's usually not a problem, but I do sometimes...

I’m a little curious about something I’ve picked up with snare-drum recording. I’ve been listening to a couple of raw drum tracks from other pro engineers. I’m pretty happy because it seems like most of my raw tracks are OK compared to theirs. I think the raw sound I’m getting for overheads...

I live in South Africa, but I really want to get my music out to the rest of the world. I have a band and, while things are going well enough (we're touring constantly), I've always wanted to share my music with as many people as I can. My music is mostly hard-rock with most lyrics in English. I...

I am currently still using Cubase VST/32 5.1r1 for everything I record. It is an upgrade for Cubase VST/32 5.0 that was availble from the Steinberg site and gave me all the plugins and some functions that came out with SX. I have been concentrating on upgrading hardware like mics, pre's, etc...

Hi All! I'm a new member, but I've been lurking around here for a while. I've got a question about a couple of kick-drum mics: I own a Samson QKick mic and I have a question about how it differs from a couple of other mics like the Audio-Technica ATM250, Audix D6 and the Sennheiser e602...
